A pamphlet Ülgen posted about his podcast.

He uses his childhood stuffed bear, Yumosh, as his silent sidekick during the interviews.

But the show is not going over well with some of his neighbors and is against the law, according to his landlord.

“Bottom line is this: It’s a violation of housing code to be running an active business, even if he’s not making money, inside a residential apartment,” Perl said, adding “other tenants don’t feel secure.”

So, when it came time to renew his lease, Ülgen was ordered to stop taping the show from inside his $2,100 a month apartment. Perl has also instructed him to remove all his recording equipment from the apartment as a condition for renewing the lease.

Ülgen, who makes a living waiting tables and walking dogs, says the show doesn’t generate any money.

He insists that despite the lack of background checks there have been no violent altercations or even occasional yelling with guests. Ülgen also says he’s always careful to walk guests in and out the building after each interview.
